Last two or 3 times I had a decent outing at North Harbour stadium. Bus way is bloody convenient. Warm ups in Britomart pubs and on the terrace at the mall. Actually last time I saw Doloras in person was probably on a bus back over the bridge from the game 6-7 years ago.
Probably suffers as it’s not really the home of a team, the way the Ring of Fire is. And the last team based there were the Knights. If it were the home of a team and a strong recent history of goals and action it might be the go. It needs a bit more of an identity. It’s a football stadium as well right?
Chris Wood decided to celebrate with a pants drop there!
Plus I’m sure there are people from the Shore and further north who appreciate not having to go into town.
Tbh though the only mixed experience I’ve had at a Nix game was in the way a back days in…Tauranga? Concrete stadium, cold and poured with rain and Pantelis did his knee and stuffed his career.
Every other road trip has been good.
Haven’t been to NHS recently, but by the sounds no one has.
Remember also going to a wacky cricket game there at a ground that seemed to be in the car park and not really exist anymore where Andre Adams starred but also bowled a double bouncer…I mean it was a genuine list A one day game, but it was a bit kooky.
